Interesting little outline of the two machines. I suppose that it is also key to have nice cutter on either unit. Just like when i put a decent new blade on my table saw., all of a sudden, it's giving beautiful clean cuts, , , ,who knew. ha ha. Same on a planner
After you said that I thought about it and I went over to the machine and you're absolutely right. I'm tall and I have it propped up a little bit and I can hit it perfectly with my knee. Thanks for that :-)
Does the king have a helical cutter head? If not then that could be the reason for the perceived difference in power. Helical cutter heads cut more efficiently…
Yes both of them had helical cutter heads on them. And both had very sharp carbide inserts they're basically brand new. It just came down to the power of the motor and just some of the features on the fence were better on the delta.
How was the dust collection on these? My old craftex spits back so much wood I've gotta do something. Wonder if helical made the power of "slicing" seem more effortless compared to straight "cutting" of a straight blade?
With a decent dust collector they work actually pretty good. You would need at least one horsepower minimum. When I ran it without the dust collection on it it seemed to come out the sides as well. I have an 8-inch jointer that gets clogged once in awhile. The helical head joiners make smaller chips so they don't get clogged as easy
Being Canadian, I wish King Tools could've taken the place of the sorely missed General Tools. But King has always been, and will continue to be, CRAP.
Yes it could have been better. I think they are appealing to the semi professional woodworker. I have some tools from shop Fox that are fairly decent little higher quality. But still not at the same as the original North American

Hahahaha funny how shape blades work so well.
I’m a Delta guy don’t get me wrong but the position of the Switch on the king is so that you can turn it off with you knee…

Is "joiner" what Canadians call jointers?
Hahahaha. Yes if you live in Newfoundland. Stupid autocorrect. 😁
Do you have any information about Delta 12 1/2 in planers
Hi Vince. I actually have one of those I bought it cheap and put it back together I did a video on it about a year ago if you scroll back
